Kuala Lumpur police chief Azmi Abu Kassim today said the police did not have a problem with MPs entering Parliament and had instead assembled outside the august House to stop an “illegal” rally.<br /><br />This was despite riot police forming a phalanx at the road leading to Parliament, sealing off the entrance and denying the opposition MPs’ bid to enter this morning.<br /><br />“The police received information that said there will be a ‘Solidarity Gathering with Anwar Ibrahim’ at Parliament today, and we checked with Parliament who told us there is no sitting today.<br /><br />“Thus, we put up roadblocks to bar vehicles and individuals from entering Parliament. That was the basis for our actions today,” Azmi said in a press conference at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters today.
